Warthin's tumor, also known as papillary cystadenoma lymphomatosum, is a benign cystic tumor of the salivary glands containing abundant lymphocytes and germinal centers (lymph node-like stroma). It is named for pathologist Aldred Scott Warthin , who described two cases in 1929.

2024年11月21日 · Warthin tumors, also known as lymphomatous papillary cystadenomas, are benign, sharply demarcated salivary gland tumors, almost exclusively encountered in the parotid gland. They are of lymphoid origin and may be bilateral or multifocal in up to 20% of cases and are the most common neoplastic cause of multiple solid parotid masses.

2020年11月9日 · Warthin tumor is a relatively frequent and benign neoplasm of the major salivary glands. Histologically, it is characterized by a dense lymphoid stroma and a double layer of oncocytic epithelium with a papillary and cystic architectural …

Warthin’s tumor is a benign (noncancerous) tumor of the salivary glands. Warthin’s tumors most commonly arise in the parotid glands, the largest salivary glands which are located in each cheek above the jaw in front of the ears.

The Warthin tumor (WT) has been identified as the second most frequent benign tumor of the parotid gland, following pleomorphic adenoma . WT is most frequently diagnosed in middle-aged or elderly patients, especially in those who smoke (>50 years), with a male preponderance.

We present a case of a worrisome neck mass in an older ex-smoker that proved to be a benign Warthin tumor. Although this is the second most common benign tumor of the parotid, 1 neither we nor our colleagues were familiar with it. Furthermore, we could find no mention of it in the family medicine literature.
